New Maintenance Contract for Finnair Technical Services

Finnair Technical Services and Lufthansa Cargo have signed a maintenance agreement covering airframe maintenance of two MD11 freighter aircraft. The work will be carried out at the maintenance facilities of Finnair Technical Services at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Finland in September 2007. The contract is a continuation of Finnair Technical Services’ and Lufthansa Cargo’s long term cooperation in the MD-11 airframe maintenance since 1999. The contract also includes an option for two additional airframe maintenance visits, which would be performed in 2008 and 2009. Of Finnair Technical Services' 200 million euro turnover, approximately one third comes from maintenance contracts with third-party customers such as, in addition to the above, Aeroflot Cargo, Martinair and KLM-Air France.
